DPW aims to be the most inclusive and representative event in procurement and supply chain setting the bar high by targeting a 50/50 gender ratio across the speaker panel for DPW Amsterdam 2024. Here are five ways we can break the gender bias at events.
Thousands of leading minds attend DPW’s annual conference. Here’s why you — and your team — should too.
#1 Network with the who’s who in procurement and supply chain
Great ideas and powerful partnerships are born when like minds unite. Find your people or your next unicorn, build your network and come rub elbows with a diverse group of forward-thinking, tech-driven enterprise leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, politicians, and celebrities.
At DPW Amsterdam, we deliver impact through our unique, diverse set of attendees through their expertise and their passion.
